AS others have stated, a minimalist western that has a unique look. The 'Ghost Town' is awesome, the mood is downbeat throughout. Unusual in it's over-all 'look'. I liked it very much. It certainly is different from the norm in a lot of ways, the music is superb, the acting is good esp. Hosssein's black clad leather gloved gunfighter.
Recommended for Italo / Euro western fans. Not recommended for a new comer's introduction to Spaghetti Westerns simply because it falls far outside what would be considered a 'typical' spaghetti western in execution / form & characterizations. The French influence is clear & not a bad thing IMO.
BTW the Rancher's blonde daughter is incredibly hot too bad she didn't get more scenes. However her role is pivotal to the film's course.
I have this one in my collection & IMO certainly in the top 20 Euro westerns ever made. It is a 'horse of a different color' however & not for everyone.
